The lighting for this image was positioned to the very close
to the camera. It might have actually been a macro flash unit or a soft box to
the right of the camera. I think this because there is shadow the left shoulder
and underneath the cards of the right. The light is then very even and a little
flat. The cards are very well positioned and cover unnecessary areas whilst
allowing the hair to fall on either side of the neck which adds curvature to
the image. The red of the models lips match the red of the diamond cards and
the make-up around the eyes add an element of style that surrounds the culture
of card playing. I really dislike the top hat in this image because the density
of the black distracts the viewer from the models face and the dress. This image
also has some relation to the drawing that I have previously made except mine
used normal sized cards.
This image was taken
at the same time as the previous one. This image shows how the dress was
constructed with a mixture of large and small cards. I see that the small cards
were used to form the part of the dress that involved a lot of curves and
detail in the female body. The large ones were then used to fill the areas that
didn’t touch the skin or didn’t involve much movement. I can also see the red
from the back of the cards, this shows that Karlsson has made the whole dress
as its own instead of using a template like a dress underneath which is what I
had thought of for my dress design. The lighting is very similar to the
previous where it illuminates the whole model, I can see that a light on the
right of the models were used which has created a gradual shadow to the left. The
gloves and heels add a feeling of finesse which was not shown in the previous. I
don’t find that the top hat is that much of a distraction anymore because the
dress is so large and bright. It steals the attention of the viewer away from
the rest of the image.
